Knowing the intensity, F, of a forest fire is helpful in determining the type of fire suppression resources that can be used to combat the fire. When the fire intensity in kilowatts per r
(kW/m) surpasses the tolerable upper limit for a certain resource, as shown in the table, the resource cannot be used safely anymore. One way to determine fire intensity is to me
the maximum height of the flame, H, in meters and then apply the formula H = 0.0775 • F0.46. If a certain fire has a maximum height of 2.5 meters, which list includes all of the typ
fire suppression equipment that can safely be used to fight it?
OA. heli-tankers
OB. air tankers and heli-tankers
OC. heavy machinery, air tankers, and heli-tankers
D. hand tools, heavy machinery, air tankers, and heli-tankers
